Following on from the success of the previous two walking challenges which have raised over £20,000 for our chosen charities walking nearly 100 miles throughout the station management groups of the London and Metro areas, the over 25 staff who participated and over 45 staff in total who assisted in organizing and fundraising we have decided to organize the next challenge due to popular demand from all involved.

As the previous events reached local newspapers, websites, social media coverage and even spoke about within parliament and are very much talk of the company when they have been on, we feel that we can offer an opportunity to many more to take this initiative on further and develop it into something that a wider audience and staff can be involved and engaged within.

This year’s charity has been chosen and we hope you agree that this is a really worthwhile cause. Alzheimer's Society is a charity very close to my heart and many that have discussed this with. They are very keen to be involved and are very much going to support us on the day and in the lead up to the event.

What we propose is a huge 30 mile (approximate) walking challenge for all to participate in, in one shape or form. This will encompass 1 day of walking visiting every Area Managers group in the General Manager North's unit starting at London Victoria visiting all London terminals and eventually finishing at Dartford.

We understand the whole event is a huge task however the day will be opened to the masses for all to participate within. The day will have legs within the day for individuals who cannot do the whole distance or team up as a group and walk as a tag team to complete the whole day.

The breakdown of the day is as follows –

Leg 1 – London Victoria to Charing Cross - 1.3 miles, 27 minutes
Leg 2 – Charing Cross to St Pancras - 2 miles, 41 minutes
 Leg 3 – St Pancras to Canon Street - 2.3 miles, 48 minutes
Leg 4 – Canon Street to Alzheimer's HQ @ St Katherine's Dock - 1 mile, 20 minutes
Leg 5 - Alzheimer's HQ @ St Katherine's Dock to London Bridge - 1 mile, 21 minutes
Leg 6 – London Bridge to Lewisham - 4.9 miles, 1 hour 38 minutes
Leg 7 – Lewisham to Bromley South - 5.2 miles, 1 hour 46 minutes
Leg 8 – Bromley South to Alzheimer Society in Bromley - 0.6 miles, 13 minutes
Leg 9 - Alzheimer's Society in Bromley to Dartford - 11 miles, 3 hours 29 minutes

Total Mileage = 29.3 miles
